Display control apparatus, display control method, and storage medium

Abstract

A non-transitory storage medium storing a program is provided. The program includes instructions for causing, when executed by at least one processor, the at least one processor to execute: acquiring a state of an automatic working machine; displaying an image illustrating the automatic working machine in a display apparatus in a size in accordance with the state; and causing the display apparatus to display, with the image, an interface for controlling a start of a work of the automatic working machine.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A system comprising:
 at least one processor, 
 a memory, and 
 at least one program, the at least one program being stored in the memory, and being configured to be executed by the at least one processor, wherein the at least one program includes instructions for executing: 
 acquiring a state of an automatic working machine; 
 displaying an image illustrating the automatic working machine in a display apparatus in a size in accordance with the state; and 
 causing the display apparatus to display, with the image, an interface for controlling a start of a work of the automatic working machine, wherein 
 the at least one processor and the display apparatus are installed in an information processing apparatus that can communicate with the automatic working machine, and 
 the size of the image is in a standard size when the automatic working machine is in operation and on standby. 
 
     
     
       2. The system according to  claim 1 , the state of the automatic working machine includes a communication condition between the automatic working machine and the information processing apparatus. 
     
     
       3. The system according to  claim 2 , wherein the size of the image when the automatic working machine and the information processing apparatus cannot communicate with each other is smaller than the size of the image when the automatic working machine and the information processing apparatus can communicate with each other. 
     
     
       4. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the size of the image when an error occurs in the automatic working machine is smaller than the size when the automatic working machine is in operation. 
     
     
       5. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the program further includes an instruction for causing the at least one processor to
 cause the display apparatus to display, with the image, an interface by which the user controls a travel of the automatic working machine. 
 
     
     
       6. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the automatic working machine is a lawnmower of an autonomously travelling type. 
     
     
       7. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program, the program including instructions for causing, when executed by at least one processor, the at least one processor to execute:
 acquiring a state of an automatic working machine; 
 displaying an image illustrating the automatic working machine in a display apparatus in a size in accordance with the state, wherein 
 the at least one processor and the display apparatus are installed in an information processing apparatus that can communicate with the automatic working machine, and 
 the size of the image when the automatic working machine and the information processing apparatus cannot communicate with each other is smaller than the size of the image when the automatic working machine and the information processing apparatus can communicate with each other. 
 
     
     
       8. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program, the program including instructions for causing, when executed by at least one processor, the at least one processor to execute:
 acquiring a state of an automatic working machine; 
 displaying an image illustrating the automatic working machine in a display apparatus in a size in accordance with the state, wherein 
 the at least one processor and the display apparatus are installed in an information processing apparatus that can communicate with the automatic working machine, and 
 the size of the image when an error occurs in the automatic working machine is smaller than the size when the automatic working machine is in operation. 
 
     
     
       9. A method for controlling an automatic working machine, the method performed by a processor, in a display control apparatus, comprising:
 acquiring a state of an automatic working machine; 
 displaying an image illustrating the automatic working machine in the display apparatus in a size in accordance with the state; and 
 causing the display apparatus to display, with the image, an interface for controlling a start of a work of the automatic working machine, wherein 
 the at least one processor and the display apparatus are installed in an information processing apparatus that can communicate with the automatic working machine, and 
 the size of the image is in a standard size when the automatic working machine is in operation and on standby.
